In the men's team final of the gymnastics event of the Paris Olympics that ended in the early morning of July 30, Beijing time, the Chinese men's gymnastics team composed of Zou Jingyuan, Liu Yang, Xiao Ruoteng, Zhang Boheng and Su Weide won the silver medal with a total team score of 259.062, the Japan team won the gold medal with 259.594 points, and the United States team won the bronze medal with 257.793 points.
In the first five events, except for some mistakes made by Su Weide on the vault, the other team members played normally. Among them, Zou Jingyuan and Liu Yang won high scores in the parallel bars and rings events respectively. This is the event in which the men's team scores points in the team, and they also do a good job.

After the first five events, the men's team was already more than three points ahead of their opponents. This is a huge number in the team competition, and many people think that the Chinese gymnastics team has locked up the men's team championship in advance. But what everyone didn't expect was that the men's team made a series of mistakes on the last horizontal bar. Xiao Ruoteng, the first veteran to appear, almost fell to his knees when he landed, but fortunately he balanced his body at the last moment to avoid a bigger mistake. Su Weide, who played after that, dropped the bar twice in a row, and after these major mistakes, the previous advantage of the Chinese gymnastics team was surpassed by the opponent.

The Paris Olympics will be Xiao Ruoteng's last Olympic Games. In Xiao Ruoteng's gymnastics career, there is only one Olympic champion missing. Originally, Xiao Ruoteng wanted to retire after the Tokyo Olympics, but it was the dream of achieving a gymnastics career championship Grand Slam that supported him. In the Paris Olympics, Xiao Ruoteng is only one step away from this goal, which is a pity.
After the game, Xiao Ruoteng stood on the field a little dazed, and he shed tears. After the game, Xiao Ruoteng said: "I have mixed feelings, and I cry when I think of this result. I think it's always like this in life, it's weird. I cried, probably because I felt that I didn't play well, and I felt very sorry, you might say, my last Olympics, I gave so much, I overcame injuries, but in the end I missed the gold medal. But life is always like this. ”
At this time, a reporter asked, can you calmly accept such a result? "I can't accept it either, I'm confused." Xiao Ruoteng finally said.
At the post-match press conference, Su Weide, who made two mistakes on the bar, apologized to his teammates, Su Weide said: "I'm sorry for my teammates, big brothers, they have worked very hard this cycle and experienced a lot of injuries, and they finally survived, because I didn't win the gold medal for my mistakes today." ”
